Hi my fellow Actifiters,

How are you guys? I hope you are ready to end another beautiful week today. It is really hard to imagine how fast time flies. It is hard to imagine that 7 months of 2025 will have passed by the end of yesterday. We are getting older day by day, and our children are entering adolescence. The first day of another new month proved to be a fruitful day with bright weather. To gain the necessary vitality for that fruitful day, I woke up at 4 am and meditated to concentrate my mind. After meditating for 10 minutes, I drank two glasses of water and started physical exercise. After physical exercise, I felt very tired, so I rested for 10 minutes and took a short bath.

Since my eldest daughter's school was a holiday today, I had enough time this morning. In fact, waking up early can help us gain more time in the day. I would also like to mention that I hope to start reading positive thinking books from the next few days. I had made reading books a continuous habit 5 years ago. In the face of the severe economic crisis that Sri Lanka faced, I even had to distance myself from these positive habits by giving priority to work. Although I temporarily distanced myself from some habits, I still retained many of them.

After breakfast, I left straight for my workplace. Today, I had to go to the Nakiadeniya area for an official matter. I willingly accepted it because Nakiadeniya was a beautiful area. Driving on this winding road had to be done with great caution because of the steep slopes. But driving in areas like Badulla and Deniyaya is not as difficult as driving. For the safety of vehicles driving on the road, a safety fence has been installed on the winding curves. During this trip, I got to see how people live by building houses on the sloping lowlands. We, who come from urban areas, have often thought how lucky we are to live in such places. But the people living in those areas forever lead an unsafe and difficult life. If a natural disaster like a flash flood or landslide occurs, they will undoubtedly become helpless.

Although there are several mountain ranges in the Nakiadeniya area, they are not very high and are unknown mountains. Since the area is located at a certain height from sea level, it is famous for tea cultivation. Tea plantations associated with tea factories can be seen on both sides of the road here. The way tea trees are pruned in these plantations is very attractive. Tea trees are pruned in this way to get more tea leaves.

In addition, cinnamon cultivation was also seen in the middle. Since cinnamon also has a high price in the market, people have also turned to cinnamon cultivation. In my opinion, people should look for different sources of income. In the current situation, it is not possible to live on only one source of income. Therefore, in addition to tea cultivation, experimenting with cinnamon farming is an additional source of income for the people.

In the face of the current severe economic difficulties, we as people should manage our time well and look for additional sources of income. Although it may seem difficult at first, getting a good start can lead to success. The most important thing is to have an optimistic mindset. If we can take our thinking pattern in a positive direction, we can take it to the desired destination. Today was a day that took a positive turn for me when thinking about the day. If we can spend every day like this, the future will definitely be more prosperous.
